On Saturday 6/4/2019, a presentation on the Gestalt psychotherapy approach took place at the Aegean College. The students at the college were addressed by Yianna Yiamarelou, MA Clinical Psychology, Gestalt psychotherapist, trainer and supervisor, founding member and senior trainer of Gestalt Foundation, Psychotherapy & Training Center.

The presentation included how Gestalt therapy started and developed, its basic principles, the emergence of figure and deconstruction, the contact boundary, and techniques, and the presentation concluded with issues of ethical practise.

After the presentation, there followed some experiential applications. The students’ response was immediate and clear. What emerged as the central figure was the value of dialogue in contact!
